My reflections on the conversation with Peter O'Brien of Russell Reynolds Search and Selection Peter L. O'Brien is a trusted advisor to boards and CEOs on corporate governance, board effectiveness, succession planning, executive development, and leadership search and transformation. He is an expert at developing highly effective leadership teams and boards in Australia and internationally. Peter is a member of Russell Reynolds Associates' Global Board & CEO Advisory Partners Sector and he leads the firm's business across Asia Pacific. Previously, Peter led the Global Supply Chain Practice, as well as the Global Industrial Services & Infrastructure Sector. We discuss; •His own career path from AUS to EUROPE back to APAC •How he developed his strengths as a leader •How that helped him and where it has not •Leading during a crisis...What did the Russell Reynolds partners notice in terms of leadership and how it is showed up in the C suite? •What is emerging in 2022 as being important that we might have underestimated in the past? •His thoughts on not being able to give certainty to people who are craving that. How do leaders give their teams a sense of - "here is what you can control...."and a whole lot more...! Effective leaders will always outperform ineffective leaders over time! Hi, I am Pod O'Sullivan. For over twenty years I have coached, mentored and supported corporate leaders and leadership teams all over the world to become impactful, effective and high performing. This is a podcast that taps into that experience. It is recorded for and about senior business leaders, C suite leaders, Founders and CEO's. I interview leaders and experts about ways to optimise leadership. What are the useful habits and thinking patterns? What are the secrets to high performing teams? How do they continue to nurture their effectiveness day after day? In other words, what is their leadership diet? www.theleadershipdiet.com
